Mr. Beckley's Response 02/17/99
Below please find an exchange I had with a publishing house. These folks publish lots of books on the UFO subject. You find my response at the end of their request. I subsequently sent this response out to a number of fellow researcher and every one of them agreed with me a gave me their support.
Interestingly enough, while I scanned my local magazine rack for UFO material I spotted one of TGB's latest newsprint issues: Encounters with Angles & Aliens (#1 - 1998), printed under the umbrella banner of UFO Universe.. Near the end of this issue I found a very interesting article and drawing, both of which sustained my argument against aligning myself with ANY promotion of this guys material.
The article in question was entitled; Extraterrestrial Life from an Angles Point of View. This article was written by Pastor Steven J. Thayer and Linda Sue Nathanson, PH.D. In the article they discuss angles, aliens and other such material. Of most interest to me was the inclusion of two black and white drawings (I didn't buy the magazine so I can't show you the scanned image, sorry.)
One drawing showed a full-length profile and the other drawing showed a full-length frontal shot, of an alien. What did it look like you ask? It was a near perfect re-creation of the Santilli: Alien Autopsy Entity (SUE), 6 digits and all. The only difference between this drawing and the video was this rendition had a less muscular look and no beer belly.
Nowhere in the article do the authors make reference to the Santilli footage. The problem? By presenting this drawing in this way, TGB has taken upon himself to add the Santilli creature to the short list of other "known" E.T. In short, the SUE creature will now become a defacto identification, just like the Gray's, the Nordics and the rest.
All this, and nothing to substantiate it but the all mighty buck.
Thank you Timothy
Green Beckley, for helping muck it up once again!

To be honest we'd rather not banner or link up to your site. As an objective UFO site we have a problem with Timothy Green Beckley. Time and again he will print and re-print stories, parables, and urban legends, most without critical analysis or research above and beyond what has been done before. This does nothing but hold back everyone interested in the subject.
Please do not think that through your association with Timothy Green Beckley that we discount everything you publish. I'm certain you have worthwhile information. But again, the owner of the web site I manage would rather not help promote Timothy Green Beckley material, and speaking for myself, Timothy Green Beckley is part of the problem, not the solution.
Thx for the time you took out to check out or site. If you'd like to use any of the information in any format please just credit the site and have at it.
Dear Mark,
Thank you for
your follow up email. As for Mr. Beckley's material: Yes, I can see how you
might come to the conclusion that his books are "not assisting the cause". But
it is not for Luxor Press to choose what is to be published by Inner Light or
is it for us to say who is valid or not in the UFO field. There are people who
wish to read the material Mr. Beckley publishes. We, therefore, supply it to
them when they request it. I understand your position but remind you that there
are those who would say
all UFO and paranormal research is garbage and misleading. So for as much as
I respect your opinions, I also respect those of Mr. Beckley and those who choose
to purchase his materials. I look forward to your response and if there is anything
I or Luxor Press can do, please let us know.
